Fizzy Days and Plastic Monkeys - From Crewe to Malibu

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to try and make a movie and see your work on the big screen Fizzy Days and Plastic Monkeys–from Crewe to Malibu is for you.

 

Illustrator Mark Millicent has worked for production studios large and small from Disney to Warner Brothers to RSA and ABC. Throughout, he has nurtured a long-held dream to make a film and see it on the big screen. He charts a rollercoaster ride of dizzy heights and stomach-lurching lows in his journey from fitting tyres in small-town Crewe in the UK to chasing his dreams in big-town Hollywood in the USA.

 

This is the story of living a dream by means of an obstacle course; about one man from a small island in the ocean who dives into a pond with big fish and sees a kaleidoscope of endless opportunity; using his own brand of tongue in cheek humour to bask in what it truly means to become embedded in the business of making a small independent movie in the glamorous land of movie-making between the UK and USA.

 

Mark Millicent’s work has been recognised by several awards for both his illustrations and short films.
